“- Zły koń! Bardzo zły, niepozytywny koń! Niedobry koń! – krzyknął Drakkainen, wypluwając trawę. – Znaczy właściwie nie koń, tylko ten, renifer jakiś... Czy daniel... Cholera cię wie. Zły jeleń! Bardzo niedobre zwierzę wierzchowe nieznanego gatunku! Złe okapi! Brzydka żyrafa!”

“Nie czekając na odpowiedź, podszedł do drugiego z więźniów i
chwycił go za brodę.
- A teraz, złotko, bardzo cię proszę, za żadne skarby nie mów nam,
dla kogo pracujesz. Uznaj, że w ogóle nas to nie obchodzi, a
torturujemy cię dla czystej satysfakcji. Spraw mi tę przyjemność,
śmieciu.”

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY.”
